when the roles switch

Shit is real
When you wake up
Get the kid or kids up
Doesn't matter
The gender
We single parents
So why does it
Matter
That I'm a single father
I'm supposed to hold this role
Like king of pharaoh
I can't have a moment
Like a single mother
I can't be the same as single mother
Because I am a man
So I'm not supposed
To feel the stress or pain
That ya child has when the other parent not around
Only because I'm a single father
I'm not supposed to be in the ring
As a single mother
So that's why they stay shock when I announce I'm a single father
They wasn't expecting it
So it's not normal
I realized culture shock
Its amazing
But also reality
I have the same responsibility
As a single mother
We all just single parents
But do I get my respect
Hell no
But that's ok
I proved the whole system wrong
I trusted my process
